Lenny's Britain

Lenny Henry goes to Blackpool to see the British sense of humour on holiday. He discovers a pick and mix of good old-fashioned seaside sauciness, hen nights and 21st century drag acts.

Lenny Henry tries his hand at a number of different jobs in Scotland to find out about the British sense of humour in the workplace. As a factory worker, a waiter, a fire-fighter, an office worker and finally a parking attendant, Lenny discovers that laughs at work are not always just about fun.

Lenny Henry sets out to discover what makes us laugh. His journey begins in the family, where humour is a way of dealing with tensions arising from the rites of passage.
